Here is a some of the story of Ancient Egypt was an
ancient civilization in eastern
North Africa, concentrated along the lower reaches of the
Nile River in what is now the modern nation of
Egypt. The civilization began around 3150 BC
[1] with the political unification of
Upper and Lower Egypt under the first
pharaoh, and it developed over the next three millennia.
[2] Its
history occurred in a series of stable periods, known as
kingdoms, separated by periods of relative instability known as Intermediate Periods. After the end of the last kingdom, known as the
New Kingdom, the civilization of ancient Egypt entered a period of slow, steady decline, during which Egypt was conquered by a succession of foreign powers. The rule of the pharaohs officially ended in 31 BC when the early
Roman Empire conquered Egypt and made it
a province.
[3]
The civilization of ancient Egypt thrived from its ability to adapt to the conditions of the
Nile River Valley. Controlled
irrigation of the fertile valley produced surplus crops, which fueled
social development and culture. With resources to spare, the administration sponsored mineral exploitation of the valley and surrounding desert regions, the early development of an independent
writing system, the organization of collective construction and agricultural projects, trade with surrounding regions, and a military that
defeated foreign enemies and asserted Egyptian dominance. Motivating and organizing these activities was a bureaucracy of elite
scribes, religious leaders, and administrators under the control of a pharaoh who ensured the cooperation and unity of the Egyptian people through an elaborate system of
religious beliefs.
[4][5]
The many achievements of the ancient Egyptians included a system of
mathematics,
quarrying, surveying and construction techniques that facilitated the building of monumental
pyramids, temples,
obelisks,
faience and glass technology, a practical and effective
system of medicine, new forms of
literature, irrigation systems and agricultural production techniques, and the earliest known peace treaty.
[6] Egypt left a lasting legacy:
art and
architecture were copied and antiquities paraded around the world, and monumental ruins have inspired the imaginations of tourists and writers for centuries. A newfound respect for antiquities and excavations in the early modern period led to the
scientific investigation of Egyptian civilization and a greater appreciation of its cultural legacy for Egypt and the world.
